Default Does this look like an authentic film of an actual recording?

Does this look to you like the audio is the performance the film is showing? Do the mics look like what would have been used at the time? I sense a shot or two were inserted after being shot separately but generally the sync looks dead-on - for example the melodic guitar lines. Were recordings done without headphones as shown in the film?

** No.

** The vid is from the same time as the original recording.

The famous Aussie "lost sheep song ".

** The sound is a stereo mix of the original release.

Judith and the guys and are pretty obviously miming.

Well, of course the implication is that this *is* the session the release is from.

Does it look like how you would expect the track could have been recorded or would things have been arranged completely differently?

** The vid replicates how the Seekers typically performed on stage.

Their lives shows were very good, almost flawless.

Actual, multi-track studio recording sessions are not like that.

FYI:

this vid from the same ear is interesting.

My take is that Judith is singing live over a backing track that omits he voice. I know the song well and her vocal sounds to me like a fresh version.

The mysterious, never hit tambourine in the mix is a giveaway.

Wait, what *about* Santa Clause??

I noticed that but figured it could have been part of a separately recorded rhythm track to keep them locked in.

But the consensus seems to be this wasn't an actual recording session. But yes, I've seen various live videos of them where they were super tight.

I just wondered if it could have been something like this, which is in fact a live performance that was filmed. The mics were strategically placed out of view. It was one of several groups that were filmed for a promotion Goodyear did.

That's Doc Severinsen on trumpet, back before he adopted his more flamboyant outfits. The guitarist leader is a guy named Mike Bryan, he was the least accomplished player but was the financial backer for the group - he owned an auto dealership and was an enthusiastic semi-pro musician.

Something I do notice, they obviously are actually performing and the one VU meter is responding in correlation to the the music and the tape player is running. It seems they were recording something.

Could have been playback of the mix minus vocal or total mix track, but yes, the meters track with the music.

A meter moving does not mean they were recording anything.

No real recording would be made in such a corny scenario.

It looks like a recent re-scan and re-mix of a promotional film made for
TV at the time of the original release. As such, the performers will
have been miming to a playback of the released track, with takes being
done until the "performance" matched the music or somebody decided
"that's close enough".

The apparent ages and clothes of the performers match the mid 1960s.

Tciao for Now!

From the description:

"The video, which re-created the recording session for a 1968 TV special, has been enhanced and now plays at the correct speed."
